The operating state of each sys-
tem, data from each sensor, image
data (images from the front/rear
cameras), and position information
is recorded by the Toyota Safety
Sense 3.0 in the following situa-
tions. Toyota obtains this informa-
tion when the vehicle is brought to
the dealership or when sent to the
Toyota servers.
• In certain collisions or colli- sion-like situations
• When driving on roads with cer- tain traffic situ ations, such as
congestion, poor road surfaces,
poor weather, etc.
• When driving on certain roads, such as roads which were
recently opened or extended
• After the engine is started, for a certain amount of time

Data provision and use pur-
pose by third parties
Data recorded by the computers
may be used for collision analysis,
malfunction diagnosis, automated
driving, advanced safety and map
related technologies (technology,
product development, product
improvement, etc.) and products
and services which use data (maps
used for automated driving and
advanced safety technologies, driv-
ing condition anal ysis, analysis of
the driving environment, such as
road infrastructure, traffic condition
communication, etc. Herein
referred to as “individual ser- vices”.) Also, this data may be used
for customer support related to a
collision, collision
analysis or reso-
lution.
In situations such as the following,
Toyota may disclose the recorded
data to a third party:
• When the consent of the vehicle owner (or the lessee if the vehicle
is leased) has been given
• When officially requested by the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency
• When it is to be used by Toyota in a lawsuit
• When data is to be used research purposes after processing so that
the data is not ti ed to a specific
vehicle or vehicle owner
In addition to the above, Toyota
may disclose the data recorded by
the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 to a
third party in the following situa-
tions:
• When separate consent of the vehicle owner (or the lessee if the
vehicle is leased) has been given.
This includes situations when the
user subscribes to an individual
service which is provided by a
second party and uses vehicle
recorded data, where the provider
has obtained the user’s consent
for providing data to a third-party
• When providing data to a com- pany involved in autonomous
driving software, etc. for the pur-
pose of resear ch and develop-
ment (technolo gy, product
development, product improve-
ment, etc.) of automated driving,

For safety and security
WARNING
●Vehicles without a smart key
system: Do not attach any
heavy, sharp or hard objects to
the key.
●Do not hang coat hangers or
other hard objects on the coat
hooks. These items could
become projectiles if the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy,
possibly leading to death or
serious injury.
●If a vinyl cover is attached to the
area where the SRS knee air-
bag deploys, be sure to remove
it.
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags immediately
after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may
be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult
after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as
soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
●If a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger's seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger’s seat may
not deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy unin-
tentionally, possi bly leading to
death or serious injury.
●Removal, installation, disas-
sembly or repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repair, removal or modification
of the following parts or their
surrounding
• Steering wheel
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Seats
• Seat upholstery

For safety and security
Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in
the vehicle even when the back
door is closed, open the win-
dows and have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be
avoided, park the vehicle in an
open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running
in an area with snow build-up,
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be
checked periodically. If there is a
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

421-2. Child safety
1-2.Child safety
Riding with children
Observe the following pre-
cautions when children are
in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child,
until the child becomes
large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.
Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window
lock switch to avoid children
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
( P.107, 134)
Do not let small children
operate equipment which
may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, back door,
seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof (if equipped)
or other features of the vehicle. In
addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.
